Is that you volunteering to help? Now that I'm all moved into my apartment in Grand Forks and relatively settled, I can probably devote more time to trying to track down people to help me attempt to organize a green out. While most of us have said that doing this during the Gopher Series would be the best option, that's less than four months away... can we plan that fast? My other concern is that Minneapolis is relatively close and there are Gopher fans that come to the games up here. In fact there are even students that would consider themselves Gopher fans first.... will it look bad if there is random yellow and maroon within the green? Would it be a better plan to pick a series such as UAA where the chance of opposing fans attending will be much smaller? At least for the first year and in following years (because hopefully this repeats) we can pick the Gopher series.

Plans have not yet been announced as to how tickets are going to be distributed. I'd imagine that once school starts something will be said rather quickly.

Not exactly sure what the connection would be, other than supporting UND... but as many of you may know it's UND's 125 year celebration this year. As part of the celebration it has been organized to take a HUGE group photo with approximately 5,000 people on the lawn forming the UND flame logo. I know the person that is recruiting people to be in the picutre and the majority of the free t-shirts that they are giving to the participants are green. That's around 5,000 green shirts right there. The front has the UND 125 Year logo in white and the back has the Barnes and Noble logo also in white. If we could get word out to people to save their shirts, that'd be half the crowd right there in the same shirt....

Might be a dumb question, but I'm too lazy to look it up. Are the tickets that go on sale tomorrow only for the homes games, or for the away games as well?

I saw a sign for it right next to the funeral home down the street from the Alerus Center

Second week in November... I doubt that there will be snow... if there is, I don't expect it to be much. Badger football is a good time... even if you can't get tickets I recommend wandering around down by the stadium and checking out the tailgating and such. Be sure to check out the "statue" (I think that is what it is supposed to be) on the corner of Monroe and Regent Street.... it's very.... interesting...

Hmmm... Vikings at Lambeau you say... well I'll be in Wisconsin until Monday... I just might have to try and convince my relatives that it's too cold for them to be outside and I should use their ticket instead Yay for family in Green Bay! EDIT: Dang.... Those season Packer tickets go to the Milwaukee package... so my family doesn't have those tickets...

Which away series do plan on attending? Hope to attend? Fri, Oct 19th @ Boston College Sat, Oct 20th @ Northeastern Fri and Sat, Oct 26th and 17th @ Michigan Tech Fri and Sat, Nov 9th and 10th @ Wisconsin Fri, Nov 30th and Sat, Dec 1st @ Denver Fri and Sat, Jan 4th and 5th @ St. Cloud Fri and Sat, Jan 18th and 19th @ Mankato Fri and Sat, Feb 1st and 2nd @ Minnesota Sat and Sun, Mar 1st and 2nd @ Duluth I plan on flying home for the Wisconsin series, which happens to fall at the same time as Veterans Day so I can stay home for an additional day. I'd really like to make it up to Tech before I graduate and I think the series in Mankato would be very entertaining.

College Hockey A To Z

I was kinda wondering that too... there are only like five posts or something... I was a little confused...

Haha! Good news for the Sioux! I'm sure that they are very excited to have a confrence to go to their first year in D1

The airport in Tampa

I've got a good one for UND students/alumni - The stupid half steps in Merrifield Hall And have you ever noticed how just about every single building on campus when you walk in the door you either have to go up stairs or down stairs in order to actually get to a floor? - No sledding hills in Grand Forks

I'll start with the obvious... - FIGHTING SIOUX ATHLETICS - Flying - Lambeau Field - Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers - Travelling with my family - Free movies

- People who assume that just because it's my 21st birthday I'm going to go out and get drunk... - People who randomly come to the movies without ever looking at the showtimes and what's playing and then are upset when there is nothing playing for an hour... - People who buy advanced Imax tickets, show up five minutes late to a sold old show and complain there is no where to sit - Harry Potter - Brian Urlacher - toll roads - People who leave at halftime at UND the football games Do we get to start a thread about things that we love now??? Cuz that would be really cool... except I think we'd all say hockey

I'm going with Phil... I think I've read in the past that he does well....

My friend's cousin transferred from Fullerton College in California to UND... his name is Ryan Pollow... and he'll be a junior this year. She can't remember offhand what position he plays, but I seem to remember her telling me in the past that he's a linebacker. I tried to look it up on the Fullerton College webpage, but they've already got rid of last year's roster to make room for the new one (which isn't up yet).

This the email response that I got from Brad.... I have also sent an email to the Athletic Department to see if they would be supportive of an attempt to start this event.

I figured that was also an option, and would indeed be VERY cool to see... but for some reason I have this feeling that fewer people have black jersey/shirts.... although it's totally an option if people would prefer that...

oops... guess I didn't need to make a whole new thread.... oh well... too late now. Derrick should be a fun player to watch this upcoming season

From Brad's Blog I like this kid already... but that might be due to the fact that he's from Wisconsin

I'm thinking we take full advantage of: -Brad's Blog and the Herald -The Ralph with any support they may provide -The Dakota Student can perhaps mention it -Sioux Crew can promote it -Lifetime Sports (where students purchase tickets) -Student season tickets... last year they had a little meeting with us before they hand over our tickets Other ideas: -handing out fliers at a previous series -working with the Sioux Shop to help those that forget Feel free to add to the list, or if any of you have any connections, feel free to volunteer to send someone an email or make a phone call I have some free time... at least for now...

I sent The Ralph another email with your fantastic suggestion

Just because it may not be 100% successful doesn't mean we can't try...
